GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION

CAUTION - If Front Mounting Bar is not welded to a frame member that runs the

full length of the gate, the gate operator may damage the gate. Do not weld the

bar or backing plate to a few pickets.

STEP 1

Cut the Front Mounting Bar (the offset bar)

so that:

The bolt center is 4-3/4" from the inside surface of

the gate and 27" to 28" from the gate hinge.

Note: It is recommended to use a frame

member across the full width of the gate.

A backing plate is provided for gates of non-

ferrous construction. Tack weld the bar in place.

Refer to Figure A or B, page 10 or 11 for

proper configuration.

STEP 2

Cut and position the pivot bar according to

Figure A or B, page 10 or 11. Tack weld the

pivot bracket, ensuring that the two bars are

level as shown on the right.

Note: For an Open Outside gate, an additional

bracket will need to be fabricated to obtain the

proper configuration (see Figure B, page 11).

Note: Depending on type of anchor used, it

may be required to enlarge the mounting

holes in the pivot bracket.

See Figure A
